Deployable structures have the capacity to transform and predictably adopt multiple
predetermined configurations, moving through known paths, while deploying in a controlled …

Composite deployable structures are becoming increasingly important for the space
industry, emerging as an alternative to conventional metallic mechanical systems in space …

Abstract Space deployable structures are widely used in multiple space missions, and
origami-inspired design is becoming a prevalent method to create deployable structures …

Deployable structures designed through diverse methodologies have become crucial in
contemporary engineering applications. Despite their distinct advantages, the exploration of …

A novel equivalent dynamic model is developed for coupled vibration analysis of the space
antenna truss to enhance the design capacity of vibration controllers. Based on energy …

Thick-panel origami and mobile assembly of spatial linkages are of superiorly foldable
properties and therefore have great potential for engineering applications, such as solar …

This paper presents a reconfigurable axial mode helical antenna which could be folded and
unfolded using rigidly foldable origami structure to work at different resonant frequencies for …

The clearance in joints influences the dynamic stability and the performance of deployable
space structures (DSS). A virtual experimental modal analysis (VEMA) method is proposed …

Inflatable gossamer space structures require structural rigidity after partial or complete out-
gassing of the inflation gases. The current study focuses on the rigidity generation in a fully …

Geometric design is the essential first step to ensure transformation of a structure from an
undeployed to a deployed state and vice-versa. Typically, this is achieved using motion …
